Abstract: A granular material manipulation device may include an upper handle and a lower handle. One or more upper arms may be coupled to the upper handle so that the upper arms may extend away from the upper handle. One or more lower arms may be coupled to the lower handle so that the lower arms may extend away from the lower handle. A positioning pivot may be configured to enable the device to be movable between a first and a second position. The lower arms may be positioned relatively closer to the upper arms in the first position, and the lower arms may be positioned relatively farther from the upper arms in the second position. Preferably, the device may be biased to the first position. A plate may be pivotally coupled to the first upper arm and/or to the second upper arm via one or more plate pivots.

Abstract: A computer-implemented is disclosed. The method includes: determining a first position of a real display device in a real-world environment; receiving a request to display virtual information at a second relative position with respect to the first position in an AR version of the real-world environment; responsive to receiving the request: determining a displayable area associated with the second relative position; and causing the virtual information to be overlaid on the displayable area in the AR version of the real-world environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for the monitoring of patient motion via the detection of changes in capacitance, as measured using a capacitance position sensing electrode array. The changes in capacitance may be processed to determine a corresponding positional offset, for example, using a calibration data set relating capacitance to offset for each electrode of the array. The detected positional offset may be employed to provide feedback to a surgeon or operator of a medical device, or directly to the medical device for the control thereof. A medical procedure may be interrupted when the positional offset is detected to exceed a threshold. Alternatively, the detected positional offset may be employed to manually or automatically reconfigure a medical device to compensate for the detected change in position. Various configurations of capacitive position sensing devices are disclosed, including embodiment in incorporating capacitive sensing electrodes with a mask or other support structure.

Abstract: A medication adherence system and corresponding medication box for improving medication adherence. The system includes the medication box, which is transparent and has a machine-readable marker, such as a QR code, on or beneath the floor thereof. The marker is capable of being scanned and read through the transparent bottoms of individual chambers. Data embedded in the marker includes, but is not limited to, the user's medication plan, the date and time when the medication is to be ingested, and instructions for recording the date and time when the marker is scanned and read. The underlying software program/application processes this information and provides an indication as to the user's compliance with the medication plan.

Abstract: A peritoneum removal assembly for removing the peritoneum from a cut of raw meat includes a rod that has a pair of polygonal sections that can be engaged by a chuck on a power drill thereby facilitating the rod to be rotated about a lengthwise axis of the rod. A slot is integrated into the rod such that a peritoneum on a cut of raw meat can be extended through the slot. The slot extends toward the polygonal section such that the slot rotates about the lengthwise axis of the rod. In this way the slot facilitates the peritoneum to wrap around the rod when the power drill is turned on for removing the peritoneum from the cut of raw meat.
